Ms. Choi Hye-eun?
I guess I had your last name wrong.
Seo Hye-eun doesn't know who her father is,
but Choi Hye-eun does.
She knows the father who abandoned her.
So the kidnapping was to get your revenge.
I heard the subjects
of Choi Dong-eok's research started with orphans.
How much do you know?
I know that you're the mastermind behind the kidnapping case.
The girl had a big mouth.
Anyway,
what's the reason you stopped my car out of nowhere?
I apologize for that. You just seemed to be in a hurry.
As far as I know, you're Dr. Choi's business partner,
but I was wondering if you were missing out on something important.
I think I have to ask you the same question.
How much do you know?
I was always curious because I couldn't install CCTV in the lab,
but he recorded a video to document his research.
Was this inside the empty safe?
That's a secret.
How interesting.
I was curious as well.
The kidnapping and the murder happened in the same time frame,
so I wondered what the connection between these two cases was.
You must be close to the murder suspect.
That curiosity has nothing to do with you earning money.
That's true.
But I was put in a difficult spot thanks to my partner's death.
That must be why you were going to that empty house,
hoping to find something useful.
I see you also tailed me.
I thought tailing you would make me some money.
I guess I need to hear more of your story.
How did you get to know me?
I was monitoring Dr. Choi's house
and discovered that he had an interesting guest come over.
All the guests that visit him
are subjects of my interest.
For a long time,
X Capital invested in companies with potential.
However,
this isn't about potential. It's about changing--
X CAPITAL NAMED ONE OF SINGAPORE'S TOP 5 INVESTMENT COMPANIES
You do more than what's on your website.
I see you also did a background check.
You have to be diligent to make money.
I'm sure you aren't here to sell me the videos that you diligently collected.
Before Mr. Park Cheol-won was arrested,
he sent me the last hard drive.
Dr. Choi's wife
brought Ro-hee's pendant
and opened it with a small key.
What are you doing?
Do you even know what this is?
How dare you touch Ro-hee's records? Are you crazy?!
I'm trying to leave a real record.
I confirmed two things.
First, that pendant and the key
aren't what they seem.
Second, the reason So Jin-yu had to die.
So?
Dr. Choi's research materials are in that pendant?
Strangely charming.
What about the key? Do you have it?
Wouldn't that make sense for us to reach a deal?
I can't trust you.
You can decide whether or not to trust me
after you open the pendant with the key.
No risk, no magic.
If you want magic, you need to risk it.
Life is about gambling.
What are the conditions?
Today at 3:00 p.m., on the third floor of the parking lot in Yeouido Mart,
there will be a black sedan with the number 1652 next to Column 15.
Put ten million dollars in cash
in the trunk of that car and give me a call.
I don't have to repeat the plate number, right?
CHAPTER 10. COUNTERATTACK
BASED ON THE NOVEL THE DAY OF KIDNAPPING BY JEONG HAE-YEON
It is a flash drive.
Can you open it?
No.
It's been custom-made,
meaning that it can only be opened with a specific key.
So if you try to open it with something else,
all the data inside will be damaged.
Do you absolutely need the key? Is there no other way?
Didn't I just say
that there's no other way?
Do you always talk so rudely?
Or are you a foreigner?
What an odd man you are.
Jeez.
What?
Dollars?
So you are a foreigner.
Come back next…
See you later!
Score.
No risk, no magic.
If you want magic, you need to risk it.
Life is about gambling.
Seo Hye-eun.
Hye-eun.
Don't you have anything else to say to me?
Hold on.
Just let the meeting finish.
I'll take responsibility.
I heard you're on suspension.
Sorry?
-Stop the meeting now. -Yes, sir.
Excuse me.
We're late. Eat quickly.

Choi Ro…
Choi Ro-hee!
Damn it.
Kim Myeong-jun!
What?
Damn it!
Damn it.
Mr. Kim Myeong-jun.
Nothing good will come
from running away every single time.
Where's the kid?
I said where's the kid?
I'm here to look for her too!
What do you mean?
Why were you at Dr. Mo's hospital?
I know what Choi Ro-hee has gone through.
Don't try to lie to me.
They took Ro-hee.
We were going to the hospital to see Hee-ae
and to end everything there.
But those guys took Ro-hee.
And they also tried to kill Dr. Mo.
But Dr. Mo
found this location
in one of the men's phones
and that they're going to leave Korea soon.
This is everything I know.
Are you…
referring to the people who had Ro-hee's ransom?
Yes, I am.
CAPTAIN
By the way, who tailed Ju-hyeok?
I think our captain looked into it.
-Let's look for her. -Sorry?
Hurry up and get moving. We don't have time.
Hurry!
-Hello. -Hello.
Can we see the record of the permits that went through today?
Ro-hee!
Choi Ro-hee.
Where are you, Choi Ro-hee?
Ro-hee!
Choi Ro-hee!
DETECTIVE PARK SANG-YUN
Hello, sir.
Call the Maritime Affairs Office
and ask if they permitted any personal yachts in today.
Personal yachts? Why?
If we don't find Choi Ro-hee, we'll lose her forever.
Look into it as soon as possible.
Answer me!
Park Sang-yun.
I can overlook you taking the wiretapper
through Ju-hyeok.
But you're on suspension.
Don't you know what will happen if you keep this up?
Where are you?
Why are you acting on your own again?
Hey.
Park Sang-yun!
Sir.
Dr. Choi had another investor.
He's trying to smuggle Choi Ro-hee out of the country.
We may not be able to find her again.
I really want to close the case that I started.
So you're going to stir up trouble?
Who can I trust if I can't trust my team in this situation?
What do you mean by that?
Please help me out once.
Please, sir.
What did he say?
Did you bring the documents to receive them on his behalf?
Yes.
PARK CHEOL-WON
Oh, and my ID.
CONTENT: ELECTRONIC DEVICE
Here you go.
Thank you.
I'd like all the money in cash, please.
Yes, ma'am.
SANGNAMJA PRIVATE AGENCY
-Hello! -Welcome!
It's you, right? It's been a while!
I hope you're using the phone and the car well.
Do me another job.
I don't see her. What about that side?
Nothing.
Yes, sir.
There's a yacht that came in from Russia at the dock.
It came in not long ago, and it'll leave in two hours.
Thank you, sir.
I'll call Sokcho Police Station,
so you get out of there now.
If this goes wrong, you won't get your badge back.
I have to be here. Things got complicated.
Are you with someone right now?
No, sir. I'm alone.
Yes?
I received a call from the HQ.
Here.
Thank you.
We'll escort you to your destination.
No need.
-What? -Hold on.
I think it's that one.
The one in the middle.
What is it?
Don't you know what situation you're in?
Don't get ahead of yourself. I'll take care of this.
But still…
I'm saying you shouldn't do anything that will put you in danger.
Okay.
Right, do you know his name?
The guy who's trying to take Ro-hee.
Oh, well…
It was J…
J?
Jay-Z?
Jay-Z.
Jay-Z?
Okay.
I'll see you soon. Bye.
Detective! It's Jaden!
Who the hell are you guys?
It's illegal to possess guns in Korea.
-Yes? -What the hell are you doing?!
The hospital?
She had difficulty breathing and collapsed.
She's recovering.
Don't you know what state she's supposed to be in?
It won't be late even if we go after she recovers.
What if people recognize her?
I'll make sure that doesn't happen.
You…
I heard you haven't registered yet. Could you fill out the forms?
Sure.
She's stable now, so don't worry.
DISPOSABLE SYRINGE
MORPHINE 10ML
He said he took her to the hospital.
Her face was on the news, so it won't be easy for him to admit her.
Check all the suspicious patients.
Thanks.
Are you okay?
I can't believe I'm consoling a kidnapper.
If she's at the hospital
because those guys hurt her,
I won't let it slide.
Get a hold of your emotions and hop in.
Let's move.
What are you doing?
Who are you?
Show me the parking lot CCTV.
Damn it.
358O 1652
There it is.
You're on time.
-What about the key? -Did you put the money in?
Where's the damn key?!
Gosh, you're scary.
You almost made me cry.
You can only take the money if you keep your end of the deal.
That's why I'm checking the money first.
I guess you weren't all talk.
Since you played nice,
let me give you something extra.
Ta-da.
It's Choi Jin-tae's video recording we saw earlier together.
What about the key?
And here comes the key…
to Choi Ro-hee's pendant.
Wait.
I need to confirm what you said is true.
Our deal was for me to give you the key.
It's only right to validate the value of the items.
Follow me.
Happy?
Where do you think you're going?
-Let me go. -I have to check the content.
What's wrong with you?
You think it'd be easy to make ten million dollars?
You think I'm having it easy right now?
-Come here. -Let me go!
Let go!
A fire has broken out.
What's going on? Go check it out.
-Let go! -Come here!
Damn it.
-Help me! -Come already!
I think a fire broke out.
What?
Hey, the car!
Stop the car first!
Damn it!
What's going on?
Stop the car with the number 1652!
Roger.
Damn it!
Stop.
Get out!
25G 7904
Hurry up!
Go!
My gosh, I'm sorry. Are you okay?
Damn it!
Get out!
Open the door!
Who told you to do this?
Answer me!
A trespass has been reported
regarding a strange man barging into the security room and checking the CCTV.
We checked the CCTV footage,
and it's that bastard.
The bastard we arrested before.
That rude and arrogant bastard.
What about Choi Ro-hee?
While he was at the reception,
she snuck out and hopped into a truck.
It's a truck that disposes of medical supplies,
and it's headed to the disposal site.
-Text me the address. -Yes, sir.
MEDICAL SUPPLY DISPOSAL CONTAINER
Ro-hee!
Choi Ro-hee!
Doing this helps no one!
You asked me…
how you could prevent
people from falling into more danger.
If you keep this up, everyone will end up getting hurt.
The only way to keep everyone safe
is for both of us to disappear.
Choi Ro-hee!
Stop wasting energy and come out.
Ro-hee!
Don't listen to him!
Don't come out!
Don't come out until I tell you so, okay?
And if someone ends up getting hurt here,
it's not your fault.
Got it?
And you!
The guy who's never been in a relationship!
I'm warning you!
If you're going to take Ro-hee,
you'll have to kill me first!
Because I'll protect her no matter what!
I won't let you go anywhere.
You owe me something, don't you?
My goodness!
You scared me!
Are you okay?
-What's this needle? -How did you come here? With whom?
A cop.
A cop?
What were you thinking, coming here with a cop?
Let's go.
No.
It seems like you can't weasel your way out this time.
Did you lose him?
Yes, but I almost had him.
Let's go to the station.
-Darn it. -What?
-Excuse me, Detective. -What?
-What's this? -I'm sorry.
What are you doing?
What?
Mr. Kim…
What's this?
What are you…
What…
What are you…
Damn it.
Open the door.
What the…
For goodness' sake.
Are you kidding me?
Mr. Kim, what are you doing right now?
I'm so sorry.
I signed a contract with Ro-hee,
and it hasn't expired yet.
I'm so sorry.
Let us properly introduce ourselves.
I'm Choi Ro-hee, the kidnapped child.
And he's my kidnapper.
What are you doing? You're embarrassing me.
Introduce yourself.
I'm Kim Myeong-jun.
I know who you are,
so untie me.
Promise me something before that.
-What is it? -Promise me…
that you won't arrest him.
This is a kidnapping case. It's a serious crime.
Didn't you see the cops flood in?
I can't decide on my own whether or not to arrest him.
I'm not saying you shouldn't arrest him forever.
Just until this is over.
Let him go until then.
I need to find him an attorney,
and when everything's prepared, he'll turn himself in.
Right?
Of course I will.
This is ridiculous.
Well, I'm not a cop right now anyway.
What? You're not a cop?
What?
He is a cop. I saw him in action.
I see. You got fired.
It's no wonder. You're not good at your job.
You had it coming, considering you couldn't even
catch this clumsy culprit.
I'm not clumsy.
I'm under punishment.
-You are? -Yes.
Reduction of salary? On probation?
Suspension.
I see. That's great.
You can't arrest him,
and you'll come in handy since you're an ex-cop.
I'm not an ex-cop. I'm on…
Actually, I don't think you'll be much of a help.
You look pretty incompetent.
Come on, that's not true. He's really smart.
It's just that we're just smarter.
"We"?
Why do you keep mooching off my intelligence?
Don't be so cheap. We're a team.
Untie me!
Promise me first, then I will.
All right, in order to make a passport,
process the photo,
and check if it functions well,
we'll need at least seven days.
That's way too long.
Come on, don't be like that.
We're the fastest in the country. We're not slow.
You saw how fast we were earlier and how good we were at improvising.
How disappointing.
Six days and a half.
I'm flying out in the morning in a week.
If you really need it that fast,
we'll work our butts off.
Goodbye, ma'am!
SANGNAMJA PRIVATE AGENCY
Who are you?
Where's that bitch?!
Who are you talking about?
Oh, that lady from the supermarket parking lot?
But you see, I can't disclose our client's information.
We can't risk…
I mean, it's how we make a living.
Hey, you.
Do you know her?
Sorry?
Damn it.
Flying out of the country?
With my money?
I could've gone to get the car.
How can I trust you and send you alone?
I won't run away.
This feels strange.
I've always been curious about you two.
Where you are and what you're up to.
It's fascinating as if I'm with celebrities.
About Ro-hee…
About what you found out about her.
What will you do?
I'm torn on how I should take care of this.
This is big news that'll turn the world upside down,
but it may not be good for her.
What about you?
How do you want this to all end?
I just…
want her to be happy.
I'm aware of the crime I committed.
And I know how shameful it is of me
to say these things.
But that's why I'm doing all this.
I want to set everything back.
Ro-hee is still a kid.
And on top of that, she must have gone through a lot.
I'm going to help her
live in a better environment
and a happier life than before.
After that,
I'll pay for what I did.
The world may not agree with your ideals.
After all, a crime is a crime.
About Ro-hee's memories…
What if her memories come back,
and they point to Ms. Seo Hye-eun?
What will you do then?
Then…
I'll follow Ro-hee's decision.
This way, please.
No way.
-Enjoy your night. -Hold on.
-Thank you. -Thank you, ma'am.
INCOMING CALL
Hello?
Is this Hee-ae's mother?
Hee-ae is awake.
-Sorry? -Let me put her on the phone.
Mom?
Is that you, Mom?
She's not talking.
Really?
She hung up. Give me a second.
Where's Dad?
He said he'd be back with a present
after my surgery.
Where's my dad?
Do you know what Dr. Mo Eun-sun's husband does?
Yes, sir.
He's Judge Kim Cheol-gi.
And you want a search warrant for his house?
The circumstances are clear.
Kim Myeong-jun was hiding at Dr. Mo's hospital yesterday,
and a man whose hands and feet were tied was found there.
Isn't that kidnapping case…
not our case anymore?
You're not acting like yourself.
Calm down and let's go eat.
Chief.
What do you mean…
by not acting like myself?
What?
Sang-yun…
is investigating the case off the record.
And I'm the one who cornered him into doing that.
And…
the one who ordered me to corner him
is you.
You bastard. Have you lost your mind?!
When did I order such a thing?
Why are you blaming me when you're the one who caved in?
Listen!
I learned everything from you!
And the other detectives are learning from me!
I won't give up on this case.
I will see to it until the end.
That bastard.
VIOLENT CRIMES TEAM 1
Did Sang-yun call yet?
Is he not picking up?
He's not picking up my calls.
Should we put an APB out for him?
You think he's a criminal or something?
He's a cop
who'll return soon
to get his badge back.
-Sir. -Yes?
We got a call that someone saw Choi Ro-hee at Sokcho.
And?
And that call was made by Detective Park.
That brat must be onto something.
Keep calling him.
Get ready to move as soon as he picks up, got it?
Yes, sir!
Don't smirk, you brat.
What's with him?
She'll try to leave the country in any way possible!
I'll pay you however much you need, so go find her.
You can kill her for all I care! Just bring my suitcase back.
DONGGEURAN COMPUTERS
Did you decrypt the password?
I decrypted the password pretty quickly…
but I think you'll be angrier when you hear this.
Why?
Well…
This is registered to a device.
So in other words, it can't be opened on other devices,
except for the laptop
that it's been designated to.
You're pissed, aren't you?
Your eyes are…
CHOI HO-YEONG
That's enough. I think it's all dry.
No, it's not. It's cold out. You'll catch a cold.
This is so bothersome.
How is this bothersome?
What's wrong with this?
Turn your head around.
This is so absurd.
What did you say?
Why are you murmuring by yourself?
Stop talking casually to an adult!
He's right. Stop talking casually.
Treating me like that won't do you any good.
I have a shocking piece of information.
What is it?
I'll tell you…
if you buy me a meal.
What?
We're very hungry right now.
Do you think cops go around buying people food?
He's right. They don't do that.
Why aren't you eating?
What?
I'm eating.
You normally finish a bowl of rice by now.
It's odd that you still have so much rice left.
You eat up.
I just have an upset stomach.
Stop going off-topic and tell me.
What's the information?
What's the estimated date of the incident?
May 20th.
And you were kidnapped by him on the 21st
while you were leaving the house.
That's the strange part.
What?
My memory stops on the 20th.
My mom brought home the Chinese food that I like on the 19th.
Then the next day, I went down to my dad's lab.
Dad never keeps me in the lab for over eight hours.
If I went down in the afternoon on the 20th,
I would've been up by the evening.
But I woke up on the 21st this time.
-That means… -Before the 20th passed,
someone put me to sleep again.
Ms. Seo Hye-eun?
Yes. I think it's time to start tying things up.
Hye-eun is the only parent Hee-ae has now.
I want to make sure she knows that
and tell her not to leave Hee-ae alone.
I know it's difficult, but that's why I'm asking you as a favor.
I won't go anywhere without Ro-hee.
So please, just give me
one day.
By any chance,
is there something that I don't know?
Ms. Seo is somehow connected to both the kidnapping and the murder.
But the murderer is denying his relationship with her,
and the kidnapper is also denying her involvement in the case.
Are you certain…
that Ms. Seo isn't involved in this case at all?
You're going to leave me with this incompetent cop?
We have no choice since we have two cars.
I won't let you trick me again by letting you two drive alone.
What if the kidnapper runs away?
You won't be suspended then. You'll get fired.
I wouldn't be here if I was worried about that.
Also,
it's common sense that being with a cop is safer than being with a kidnapper.
Why doesn't common sense work here?
-Bulgogi burger. -What?
I'm going to have a bulgogi burger for dinner.
Make sure to come back on time so I won't be hungry.
Thank you.
No need to thank me.
I know you won't run off without Ro-hee.
I know it,
but still,
don't get any ideas.
Okay.
You're late.
I'm sorry.
I have something important in my hands now.
It's halfway to success.
Do you drink?
Here.
A drink won't hurt after a hard day of work.
There you go.
However,
halfway to success, in other words,
is halfway to failure.
Taking responsibility for our failures
comes with the job we do, right?
You see,
I've never liked your uncanny vibe.
The same goes for your loyalty
and doing whatever it takes to complete your orders.
It's overly dramatic and idealistic.
You should've listened and gotten on the yacht with the kid.
Why did you have to pity her?
Ideals…
can't outweigh money.
How does it feel?
This is an order from the higher-ups,
so you should die like a loyal dog.
How did it feel when you put a gun in my mouth?
If the boss told you to kill me,
you would've shot me then and there, right?
Beg me to spare your life.
Then I'll stop here.
Gosh, he's so stubborn.
How dramatic.
How beautiful.
Hello?
Please send her up.
I've wired everything to the cryptocurrency account in the US.
Thank you for choosing our bank.
Thank you for your work.
INCOMING CALL
I'll be going.
It's me.
Let's meet.
Let's meet and talk.
Why is Kim Myeong-jun here?
Those two are close.
Mr. Kim, stay by my side.
It's me, Mom.
Mom?
Hee-ae, are you okay?
Are you not sick anymore?
A genius girl who's left alone after her parents' death.
She'll be alone if it ends like this.
Mr. Kim must need some time too.
The kidnapper and a detective.
Let's catch Jaden first.
Yesterday's enemy can be today's friend.
We could team up if our goals align.
Don't try so hard.
If I hadn't been disowned, all of that would've been mine.
What is Ms. Seo Hye-eun to you?
What is she to you that you even murdered someone for her?
It was a decision I made on my own.
Your decision may determine Ro-hee's safety.
I have something to show you.
I don't want to watch it anymore.
It's important.
It concerns your safety as well.
You promised to stay with me until my memories come back!
I want you to be safe even without me.
Then just stay by my side.
I'm a kidnapper!
